Did STAG Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results
STAG Industrial delivered a strong first quarter for fiscal 2026, beating Wall Street expectations on both top and bottom lines and extending its streak of consensus EPS beats to four consecutive quarters. The industrial REIT posted GAAP diluted EPS of $0.32, topping the $0.24 consensus estimate by 33.33%, though the figure includes a $15.10 million gain on sales of rental property, a meaningful step down from the $49.91 million gain recorded in Q1 2025, along with the absence of a $1.85 million gain on involuntary conversion present in the year-ago period. Revenue rose 9.1% year-over-year to $224.21 million, edging past the $222.35 million consensus estimate, with the growth underpinned by portfolio expansion and robust rent mark-to-market activity. The cleaner operational story emerged in Core FFO per diluted share of $0.65, up 6.6% year-over-year, driven by 20.9% cash rent growth across 6.0 million square feet of new leases commenced in the quarter. Evercore ISI lifted its price target to $44 following the results, citing improved industrial leasing velocity and emerging demand from data center-related tenants.
